Last Minute Decisions

Week 17 Injury Questions

The majority of fantasy leagues are over, but we’re not slowing down. There’s still Dynasty leagues, SnapDraft, playoff leagues and the never-ending thirst for NFL news.

As we get set for Week 17, we’ll still be scouring the league for nuggets and will post it on our relentless News Page. We’ve also got rankings from Chris Wesseling/Mike Clay here and a guide to what teams are playing for what this week here.

Here’s the link to SnapDraft if you want to draft a new team just for this week. And if you don’t have it already, you need the Rotoworld App for your iPhone/iPad. Badly.

TEXANS at COLTS* Owen Daniels (hamstring) missed a little practice time this week, but he’s fine. * The irregular heartbeat that sidelined Arian Foster last Sunday is no longer an issue. * Donnie Avery (shoulder) is listed as questionable, but he’s unlikely to play because the Colts are locked into the No. 5 seed. * Delone Carter (ankle) remains out.

EAGLES at GIANTS* Jeremy Maclin (knee) is fine despite his weekly injury drama. * Ahmad Bradshaw (knee) is set to carry a full workload once again. * Even if Hakeem Nicks (knee) suits up, he’ll be hard to trust. Nicks hasn’t topped 77 yards since Week 2 while playing at far less than 100 percent.

BEARS at LIONS* Matt Forte (ankle) continues to show resiliency off repeated sprains. He’ll be a go in this must-win spot for the Bears. * Brandon Pettigrew (ankle) won’t return, but Calvin Johnson (knee) was never in real doubt. He’s gunning for 2,000 yards.

BUCS at FALCONS* There’s not much reason for Roddy White (knee) to gut it out with the Falcons locked into the No. 1 seed.

4PM GAMESCARDINALS at 49ERS* The concussion Vernon Davis sustained last week was considered “minor,” but he hinted that he still wasn’t feeling 100 percent after Friday’s practice. He’ll likely go through some more testing Sunday morning before a decision is made. * With Mario Manningham (knee) done for the year, Randy Moss is the Niners’ No. 2 wideout.

CHIEFS at BRONCOS* Tony Moeaki (head) could make his return, but is well off the fantasy radar with Brady Quinn starting.

PACKERS at VIKINGS* Jordy Nelson (hamstring) makes his return, which means it will be easier for the Packers to rest Randall Cobb (game-time call, ankle). * Alex Green (concussion) returns to share the load in a hot-hand situation with Ryan Grant. * Adrian Peterson is dealing with soreness in his abdomen/groin, but it won’t limit him as the Vikings try to clinch a playoff berth.

DOLPHINS at PATRIOTS* Brian Hartline (back) is good to go, but Davone Bess (back) is out. * Rob Gronkowski is tentatively expected to be active in a limited role. He'll likely at least be involved in red-zone packages. Have a backup plan ready, but Gronk is worth a shot for most owners. * As usual, Brandon Lloyd, Aaron Hernandez and Wes Welker are very likely to play full reps despite questionable listings.

RAMS at SEAHAWKS* Steven Jackson (foot) will start in what could be his final game as a Ram. * Sidney Rice (knee) appears to be over the hump with his various nicks.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALLCOWBOYS at REDSKINS* Robert Griffin III (knee) should be able to run with more ease this week.

MY TOUGHEST DECISION OF THE WEEKNone of my leagues play into Week 17. Therefore, the biggest decision I had to make this week was deciding whether to trade James Harden for Kyrie Irving and Marcin Gortat. Hoops, baby!

SURVIVOR PICK OF THE WEEKIf you’re still in Survivor, you don’t have many quality teams left. Some “bad” teams in good spots this week include the Chargers vs. the fighting Terrelle Pryors, the Titans at home vs. the fighting Chad Hennes and the Bucs in Atlanta against a Falcons team that figures to rest its starters in the second half.
